Summary: A Tongue of Decades
Comment: Seamus Heaney's collection _Opened_Ground_ is a rambling jaunt through 30 years of his best-loved works. Many well-known poems are found throughout along with several soon-to-be favorites. This volume also contains his Nobel lecture, "Crediting Poetry," a must read for poets, poetry-lovers, or the just plain literate. Seamus Heaney is a poet of universal voice and local concern.
Rating: 5
Summary: Heaney's Natural, Witty, Brilliant Poems In One Volume.
Comment: Seamus Heaney is a master poet who connects nature, emotion, and even plot, in a brilliant and particularly Irish poetry. These poems are accessible to non-English majors. I read them out loud to my wife at night. They elicit a reaction that begins at emotional imagery, veers into thought, and ends up touching your soul. One of the immortal greats of the English language is writing and publishing now, and this book is indispensable.

Summary: Read all of his work..it's worth it
Comment: One of the most remarkable things about Seamus Heaney is his "Shadow Gaelic"...or his use of gaelic verse structure and rhyme in the english language. He is a master manipulator of words and he brings the Irish mentality fully into the 20th century. He is both interesting as a poet in its own right and as a figure in Irish literature, his work is moving, compelling and speaks directly to the soul. I highly reccomend any of his work, and this compilation is a nice over-view of the 30 years of his carreer up to the mid-nineties.
